   Food was good and fast The place was very busy Pricing a little on the high end Service is very limited to just check in on you when they are in passing helping others The older man that has been there centuries is also fun to see

   Overly priced, add 18% on to bill for group of 6 plus, would be great if they actually attended to your table.. i don’t care for the food.. it’s boring, Katsu was bland, rib eye is different, sashimi was good, tempura could be better.. over all a 2… it’s too loud as well, couldn’t hear the ppl across from us , had to talk really loud. 300$ spent and went to 7-11 afterwards to get manapua cuz I didn’t care for the rib eye I ordered..

   It did seem that a few of the servers were more interested in the football game going on in the bar area than providing service to the customers on the restaurant side. I don't think we'll be back on a Sunday during NFL season. Otherwise, the food was good. My friends had never been to Kuni prior to this time & they did enjoy it regardless of the service we received.

   This was our first time on a Wednesday to try the 50% off ribeye sizzling steak. We prefered it with the teri sauce. It was a good deal & we'd go again if we could get another OpenTable reservation.

   This was our first time at Kuni & we were very happy. The restaurant & the women's bathroom were very clean. Friends that have gone to Kuni's before said it much be renovated. Yay for us! We really enjoyed our food & look forward to returning in the future.

   Restaurant was very busy. The owner was assisting his staff with the Table seating and food delivery to the tables, also taking the time to ask each customer if our experience in his restaurant was going well. Refreshing to see this small business doing all it does to see that the Customers are being serviced. Food was excellent.

    Kuni Restaurant is best described as a legit, old-school, local, Japanese restauraunt. Just based on the number of uncles and aunties having Coors Light with their meal--haha! We ordered the Ohana style and the kids had saimin. Everything was so ono! Sizzling steak and sizzling tofu steak and shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura and chicken katsu and sashimi?! OMG, it was crazy. Ok, this isn't some high-end, Michelin star restaurant so even if I thought the food was great, I restrained myself and rated it "very good" just to keep things honest. BUT it was perfect for what it was and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back! Bonus for the laid back atmosphere b/c we always ask ourselves why we even bother going somewhere nice with the kids since either they don't like anything on the menu or can't sit still for the entire meal.
